The sons of Satan rage on: they r**e, torture and massacre the innocent followers of the Son of God, seeking in their insanity to destroy the handiwork of the Creator, and to darken the world with the jealous hatred of the evil one who has spawned them…
While violence against Christians in Nigeria continues to draw global concern, attacks in Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are also increasing. Extremists affiliated with the Islamic State have claimed responsibility for recent assaults, resulting in 22 reported beheadings across both countries in recent weeks. The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reports that the Islamic State Central Africa Province (ISCAP) claimed responsibility for attacks on Christian villages in eastern DRC, where 18 people were beheaded. In one incident on November 12 in Mayba Village, Lubero Territory, twelve Christians were killed. Days earlier, an attack on Mazenze Village in Ituri Province resulted in six deaths and the destruction of approximately 20 homes, according to MEMRI's Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor. In Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province, four Christians were killed, including two who were beheaded, prompting many residents to flee. Bishop Alberto Vera of Nacala, whose diocese includes affected areas, told Aid to the Church in Need that several settlements have been attacked, thousands have fled, and hundreds of homes have been burned since November 10. The Bishop has also requested prayers: "Pray a lot for us, because this is an incomprehensible, intolerable reality." Violent attacks in Cabo Delgado began in 2017, and over the past eight years, the insurgency has caused thousands of deaths and displaced more than one million people. A recent United Nations report states that nearly 128,000 people fled Nampula province in northern Mozambique within one week due to new extremist attacks. CBN News reported in October that more than 30 Christians were beheaded, and churches were destroyed by Islamic State terrorists. Despite ongoing violence, ministry leaders remain dedicated to supporting affected communities and promoting peace.
